LLG Model

This NBFC-MFI offers collateral-free credit to micro enterprises based on strong credit assessment and a centralised approval system. The company has adopted a unique Limited Liability Group (LLG) Model for extending loans and ensuring repayment. The group lending model allows groups of borrowers to share the liability and responsibility to repay loans, while helping them build a strong credit profile to avail finance from traditional financial institutions.

Through the model, the company aims to add a social touch to lending by integrating modern technology into the micro finance industry. Satya primarily caters to women who own businesses or are looking for business expansion.
